Are freshmen decisions an indicator to how transfer decisions are gonna go?

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>I’m banking on getting into UC Davis specifically, and I noticed that freshmen decisions came out today. Does freshmen enrollment play a role in how many transfers are admitted/rejected? I mean, the space available within a certain campus stays the same regardless of class-level distribution right? </p>

<p>The reason I’m asking is because I read that UC Davis admitted fewer freshmen this year (because of over-enrollment issues last year). Does this mean that there will be more space available for transfers this year (due to the fewer number of freshmen)? Or are the two class-levels completely independent of each other?</p>

<p>The existence of the TAG program probably suggests that transfer and freshman admissions are completely independent of one another.</p>

<p>Now another question is how is TAG related to non TAG? Are people who have a fairly high GPA (i.e. 3.8+) jeopardized because of people who TAG that only have a 3.3 for example?</p>

<p>@DescartesQ: Good call, I never thought about the TAG program when I asked this question.</p>

<p>@xcballin: Since the UCs only allow you to TAG to one campus, the chances of low-GPA TAGers pushing out high-GPA non-TAGers is practically nonexistent. This is just my belief though, so I may be wrong.</p>
